Is it definitely a blocked lacrimal duct if the baby always has a lot of eye discharge?

Patient's question:

Is it definitely a blocked lacrimal duct if the baby has been having a lot of eye discharge? This condition has been going on for some time, and I'm hesitant to give medication. Please give some advice.

Doctor's answer:

After my daughter was born, both of her eyes had eye discharge. Sometimes it was yellow, sometimes white. Sometimes both eyes were closed, sometimes they alternated. Sometimes it was better or worse. Does the tear duct need to be blocked? How can the diagnosis be confirmed? My daughter is now two and a half months old. Thank you.
Your daughter’s two eyes were naturally born with eye discharge, sometimes yellow, sometimes white. Sometimes both eyes were closed, sometimes they alternated. In this case, it is not a blocked tear duct but rather her body being in a state of internal heat. It is recommended that she drink more water (honeysuckle water or chrysanthemum crystal water) to help dissipate the heat in her body. There will not be a phenomenon of "always having eye discharge in both eyes."
